Brahmanbaria: Finance Adviser Salehuddin Ahmed today emphasized the government’s commitment to returning money to depositors, ensuring that their funds are secure despite challenges. “Confidence is returning to the bank. A Bank Resolution Act has also been enacted. The first condition is that the government is committed to returning money to depositors. No one’s money will be lost – it might take a little time, as many people have taken money and left. Such incidents have not happened in any other country in the world,” he stated during a meeting with government officials at the Nabinagar Upazila auditorium in the Brahmanbaria district.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Salehuddin highlighted the Bangladesh Bank’s efforts to rehabilitate banks facing difficulties, noting that strategic measures are in place to restore stability. He also addressed ongoing efforts by the National Board of Revenue (NBR) to tackle existing issues, mentioning the formation of a powerful five-member committee dedicated to resolving these matters through discussions.
Furthermore, Salehuddin outlined the government’s initiative to streamline the investment process for foreign investors. He assured that measures are being taken to centralize business clearances, reducing the need for investors to navigate multiple bureaucratic channels.
Key figures, including Deputy Commissioner of Brahmanbaria Mohammad Didarul Alam, Nabinagar Upazila Nirbahi Officer Rajib Chowdhury, and Nabinagar Circle Additional Superintendent of Police Pias Basak, were among those present at the event.
